N7 - Hahne-Kedar Facility part 2

The conveniently-placed pieces of cover sprawling over the right side of this room should be a signal to you that you're going to eventually find yourself under assault. As you press forward, expect that a pair of FENRIR Mechs will attack your position. Once they've been finished off, quickly run forward and grab the contents of the crate holding the Element Zero on your right, and then focus on the left side of the room. You'll see a ramp ahead and to the right, with several waves of LOKI Mechs walking towards it, in an attempt to reach your position. These slow-moving, weak enemies will fall easily. Simply focus concentrated fire on their position, and they shouldn't get anywhere near the ramp. Don't get too jumpy, though. Ensure that no more mechs are pouring out of that location before you head forward. If you aren't careful, you'll end up doing combat with multiple mechs in close quarters as a result. Well, more-so than you're about to, anyway.

Head down the ramp and enter the maze of crates all around you. First, head to the left, so that you're parallel to the route you just took into this room. You'll likely run into a few LOKI Mechs here, but nothing too crazy (yet). At the end of this dead end, you'll find a crate full of heavy weapon ammunition. After grabbing those, backtrack to the ramp, and head forward. It's at this point that you're going to run into a hell of a battle. There's not too much one can really say about this fight. You'll run into a good twenty-five or thirty LOKI Mechs, and you'll need to remain passive here to stay alive. LOKI Mechs are weak, no doubt about it, but with the numbers we're talking about, it's easy to get overwhelmed and cut down.

Thus, your best bet is to peek around certain corners, hit the enemies that are coming around said corner, and then lay in wait for any more enemies that are in your direct vicinity. When the coast is clear, push up to the next piece of reliable cover and repeat the process. The path through the crates strewn all around you is completely linear (for the most part), but don't rush. While getting lost may be impossible, getting gunned-down in cold blood is so easy, it's almost inviting. Before pushing out of the door at the far end of the area, make sure you've found the stash of Element Zero in a nook on your right. It should be sitting on some crates in the little area of the maze before reaching the door.

With the final LOKI Mechs slain in the previous area, there are no more enemies to fight. That's good news! Before heading up either metal ramp to the area above you, search the location directly ahead of you. Another crate-bound stash of Element Zero can be found there. Then, head up the ramp and enter the facility's control room. Here, you won't find much of interest, except for a large computer terminal beckoning you from the other side of the room. Examine it, and you'll be forced to hack it open. Once hacked, the facility will shut down. You'll witness some automatic scenes of untimely robotic deaths, and then the facility will be blown sky-high. Thankfully, your landing ship is shown escaping from the planet automatically, and just in the nick of time, too.
